On the bright side, Arien has a low enough wisdom and magical know-how that Adrian can probably get away with blaming the mantis mage since Jal is probably the only one that would know the difference

Nah, I'm sure she'll be fine. Adrian will perform some diving grab maneuver or something. I'm banking on the fact that she's a much more powerful mage than he is and will be able to shrug it off.

I think that Maximus must be insane with grief too if he thinks lizards are attacking. I'm quite sure that lizards are the one thing I haven't thrown at you.

Oh and by the way - Max killed a thri-kreen and an ankheg. Although I am sure that all bugs look the same in the heat of combat.

Oh, one more thing - Alloryn falling is the least of your worries Adrian... Dawn approaches

Back when my friend and I were playing Bromern Sal and the enigmatic Falconer there was but one rival that put the Fear into us and her name was Dawn.

But they look like enemies all the same so there Roger

Will edit the post I don't know why I said lizards

Vanadia brought up a good point that probably Maximus and Dapple would not have seen Jal fall. However, since it is near the end and it is a moot point at best, I'd leave the posts as they are.

they have two more chances to see a mage fall in the near future

This, coming from the mage who may join the Mile High Club in the next round? forcibly I may add but still....

I am waiting on robert's death scene post before posting but if he doesn't by the weekend, I will move/end the combat on the weekend.

*Giggles at the humor of it*

This would make a good movie:

Sex, Aliens (well, monsters, but they count), and explosions (crumbling towers count too).

Well, there are 3 reasons people go to a movie. They want to see people:

1) Defying authority
2) Destroy Property
3) Take off their clothes

So we are 2 for three so far. But who to cast for Arien? Christian Bale? Tom Cruise? Matthew Mcconaughey as Char?

Sorry Roger... didn't realize you were waiting on me, otherwise, I wouldn't have been waiting for combat to wrap up before I posted the last hoorah!

I'll get that going and have it for you mondo-soono!

With Cathy in Chicago for the next three days, I have moved from Dad at home to Single Dad (and I have an exam today in class). I wouldn't expect a post from me until Thursday.

So take your time.

How long on the fly spell do I have?

Awesome job dude!! way to dispel the green B***h

And Al you really gotta be hating my Vorpel now huh

Bob - Your fly spell lasts about two hours so you have lots of hang time left.

Albert - If I hated your vorpal, the ankheg would have bit it in half.

I leave it in your hands how much of Jal's goodbye you see/feel/perceive. My only warning is this - if you choice to see everything, you may find that you can't go back to the way you were.
